Abstract (croatian)

Autor u radu razmatra teorijski koncept i praktične primjene sociologije znanja u
istraživanjima srednjovjekovne povijesti. Prema tom sociološkom pristupu djelovanje
i ponašanje članova neke zajednice određuje korpus društvenoga znanja, a
na čelu im se nalaze vladajuće elite koje, ovisno o društvenim okolnostima i svojim
realnim interesima, pokušavaju nametnuti vlastite projekcije svakodnevne stvarnosti.
U skladu s tim, rad upozorava na različite simbole moći i vlasti putem kojih
su društvene elite uspijevale u nastojanjima da učvrste svoju vlast i autoritet u nekoj
društvenoj zajednici. Na taj način nudi se drukčiji metodološki pristup proučavanju
hrvatskoga srednjovjekovlja, nedovoljno zastupljen u našoj historiografskoj
produkciji, koji bi mogao polučiti određene rezultate u istraživanjima odnosa vlasti
i moći, vladajućih struktura prema podređenima, kolektivnoga pamćenja i sjećanja
te načina na koje elite pridonose njegovu formiranju i mijenjanju

Abstract (english)

This paper discusses the theoretical concept and practical applications of sociology
of knowledge in the study of medieval history. Sociology of knowledge views the actions
and behaviours of the members of a community as determined by the body of
social knowledge fostered by the ruling elites. These elites try to impose their own
notions of the everyday reality, and their attempts in turn depend on their interests
and on the social circumstances. Consequently, as this essay suggests, we must take
into account the diverse symbols of power and government that these elites successfully
employ in securing their authority and reign within a social community.
Sociology of knowledge, thus, offers a novel approach to the study of Croatian Middle
Ages, hitherto little utilized by Croatian historians. This approach may prove
useful in the study of relationships between ruling structures and their subjects, collective
memory and remembrance, as well as the ways in which these are informed
by the elites.
